Steamships Ahoy - Ascendant

Ascendant is now available
on Steam, offering a
hardcore side-scrolling brawler for Windows, Linux, and OS X. Here's
word:

At its core, Ascendant is a stunningly beautiful and insanely
hard side-scrolling brawler! Created with a passion for beautiful art styles and
fluid engaging mechanics, the game introduces players to a brand new world each
time they play. Using modern rogue like elements such as permadeath and
procedurally generated environments, you play the role of a demigod who invades
a plane controlled by your rivals. They will stop at nothing to eliminate you,
and only the best of warriors will triumph over their armies of zealots and
beasts.
